hydrographr: An R package for scalable hydrographic data processing
Freshwater ecosystems are considered biodiversity hotspots, but assessing the spatial distribution of species remains challenging. One major obstacle lies in the complex geospatial processing of large amounts of data, such as stream network, sub ...

An ecosystem ecology perspective on artificial reef production
Predicting the overall productivity of an ecosystem is a long-standing challenge in ecology and conservation biology. Understanding controls of primary production is important in both theoretical and applied contexts, as it bounds the total amount of ...

Thermal imaging in plant and ecosystem ecology: applications and challenges
Temperature is a primary environmental control on ecological systems and processes at a range of spatial and temporal scales. The surface temperature of organisms is often more relevant for ecological processes than air temperature, which is much more ...
